REEL AND DISPLAY DEVICE FOR VEILINGS, LAOES, AND LIKE FABRICS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 10, 1907.

Application filed April 6, 1906. Serial No. 310,254.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, J ESSE \VrNEBURGr-r and ABRA- ni-rrr WIXEBURGH,both citizens of the United States, and residents of the city of NewYork, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, andFRANK llYnNE IVY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident ofEssex Fells, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, haveinvented a new and Improved R-eel and Display Device for Veilings,Laces, and Like Fabrics, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description.

The object of the improvement is to provide a new and improved reel anddisplay device for veilings, laces and like fabrics or materials, andarranged to hold the fabric properly reeled and a portion thereofdisplayed over a representation, such as the face of a woman, toeffectually indicate the merits of the fabric when in actual use.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations ofthe same, which will be more fully described hereinafter and thenpointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both theviews.

Figure l is a face view of the improvement, and Fig. 2 is a transversesection of the same on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

On a reel A of cardboard or other suitable material is reeled in theusual manner the veiling, lace or other fabric 13, and on one end of thereel A is secured by hinges O a display card D provided on its upperface with a suitable representation, such as the head of a woman, forinstance, as plainly indicated in Fig. 1. The display card D is swungonto the fabric B so that the end portion 13 of the fabric extends overthe said representation to display the fabric over the repre sentationto indicate its merits when in actual use. It

is understood that the fabric displayed is of an open mesh to permit ofreadily seeing the representation through the meshes of the fabric, andhence the veiling, for instance, appears over the representation of awomans head the same as when the veiling is in actual use. By referenceto Fig. 1, it will be seen that the length of the display card D isabout half the length of the reel A, so that the fabric is displayed onthe reel in the piece and as it appears when in actual use. When it isdesired to unreel the fabric it is only necessary to open the outer endportion B and then swing the display card D outward out of engagementwith the fabric B, to allow convenient um'eeling of the fabric from thereel A.

The display card D also serves as a tag for indicating the name of themanufacturer, trade-mark matter, prices, number and like matter usuallyfound on tags applied to fabric of this nature.

The reel and display card shown and described is very simple and durablein construction, and can be cheaply manufactured, and the display card Dcan be readily applied to reels as now in use.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent:

A reel and display device, for veilings, laces and like fabrics ormaterials, comprising a reel on which the fabric is reeled and a displaycard hinged to one end of the reel, and having on its facethe-representation of the head of a female, the display card beingadapted to underlie the outer end portion of the fabric to display thesame over the said head representation, the length of the display cardbeing less than that of the reel to display a portion of the fabric inthe piece.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses JESSE \VINEBURGH. ABRAHAMVINEBURGII. FRANK BYRNE IVY.
